BABY BOY’S ROOM DECOR

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:59:19 +0000

I am loving this striped baby boy’s room which I spotted on Ohdeedoh for two reasons. The first that its a boy’s room with little use of blue. There is some blue, but its not splashed up on every wall. The second is because it is a well use of paint and colour. Currently the flat I live in will not allow us to paint so I am stuck with boring white walls, as is my little boy. It’s a TRAGEDY! Every child should have colour in their room! I’ve done my best to brighten it up using accesories, paintings and a wall decal. I’ll try and provide images soon, but for now I’ll just stare at Jonty’s beautiful room photos at his home in Australia and hope to have a painted room for my boy one day!

PUPPY DOG PICNIC THEMED PARTY

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 21:48:17 +0000

As promised, above are the pictures of my son’s Puppy Dog Picnic First Birthday Party and below are where I had purchased the items to pull the event together. We had our party at Cheeky Monkey’s in Malvern, UK as our home is too small for so many attendees. A bonus of holding it at Cheeky Monkey’s, aside from the NO after party cleanup, is they have a fabulous soft play area for children of all ages. We had children from 5 months to 5 years old attending and had to keep all entertained. It was successful and a great time was had by all. I would highly recommend Cheeky Monkey’s to anyone.

Where to get items…

Puppy cake , chocolate cupcakes, red plates and napkins from Waitrose

Red party boxes from Party Bags 2 Go

Keel Stuffed Puppy Dogs from Birthday Bubbles

Inside red party boxes…

Assorted coloured rubber balls from ClubKing

Assorted coloured whistles from Harts

Dog bone chocolate chip cookies made from cookie cutter from Heritage Gifts

Cupcake toppers, dog tags, box deco and napkin holders designed and created by me.

CO・ZEN ができたわけ

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:25:04 +0000

I saw these wooden eating utensils and plate from CO・ZEN ができたわけ at BKids the other day and I just had to share them with everyone! BKids was trying to follow up on it, but I have several friends who speak or are Japenese so I asked for their aid with the website and here is what I discovered…

They are currently about £130 a set. They are a bit pricey because everything is hand-made. Currently there is no shipping to the UK, but perhaps this will change shortly. Here’s to hoping x
